Pedagogy.

IF the occupant O. the teachers desk
is an experienced teacher he will ap-
proach the door of his school room with
feeling akin to that with which our
general great-great-grandfather, Adam,
drew on his first pair of trousers. 1t is
certain that he did not don them with
the exultant haste of a Juvenile, al
though they were his first pair. For
as he gazed apprehensively down the
long tubes they became a binocle
through which he looked
"Adown the gulf of time,"
and saw his descendants making fools
of themselves, generally: getting drunk
and running for congress-; and, espec-
tally, his sons doing just as he had
done-taking all the risks of He'll to
please the women, whilst fraud, malice,
hatred, lying, grim, bloody-visaged
war, and sneaking, hypocritic peace.
glared back at him through the twin
apersures.
So, if the teacher has counted the
cost, as lie enters the school room he
feels that he is stepping on the arena
where he must grapple with a regime
that gives little appreciation and less

The st. Louis Jockey Club.

The Third Annual Spring Meeting
of the St. Louis Jockey Club will be
held from June 4th to 18th, both dates
inclusive. The total amount offered
in stakes and purses will aggregate
about $52 900, which compares favora-
bly,, if not exceeds the amount offered
by any other racing association in the
country.
THE ST. LOUIS RACE TRACK is now
recognized as the finest and best equip
ped in the United States. The Grand
Stand, Betting Stand and Club House
are erected on an elaborate scale, at an
expense of nearly half a million dollars.
The Spring Meeting of 1886 was a
grand success, and it is anticipated
that the coming meeting will far ex-
coed any of those of the past; and it
might be well to state that racing in
st. Louis is comparatively new feat
ure, which since the new track has
been built the citizens are gradually
taking more interest every season, and
in very few years the racing will be
as illustrious as that of "FaiI Week"
All railroads terminating in st. Louis
will offer reduced rate of one and one
third fare for distances not exceeding
200 miles. Excursion tickets will be
OH sale at the various railroad stations
OH the following days: Saturday, June
4th, good to return until 9Th; Thursday
June 9th, which is the "Great Eclipse
Day." good to return until the 18th
Saturday, June 18th, good to return IN
til the 18th; Wednesday, June 18th, tt
return on the 10Th.
The class of horses entered are among
the best in the country, and it is ex
pected that there will be lively con
test and large fields of horses will com
pete for the rich stakes and purses tina
are offered.
There will be five or more races ev
cry day. The price of admission il
placed at one dollar, which is the same
amount as that charged by all othe
racing associations; this price includes
admission to the grounds, seat in thu
Grand Stand, Betting Stand, and th'
lawn in front of the Grand Stand.

One for His Mob.

That newspaper trinity, or three in
one, the editor of the Poplar Bluff Cit
iSess, the Prohibitionist of New York,
the Republican of Pennsylvania and
Democrat of MissOri, takes 1T upon
himself to stick his nose in business,
which concerns MIN not the least by
stating that the Democrat is "attempt-
ing to build up reputation by de-
nouncing the Enterprise and bringing
it into disrepute in various ways" II
is simply falsehOod and had the writ.
er of it taken pains (never expected oil
a meddler) he would have found that
the Enterprise first brought itself into
disrepute, and also made the first
thrusts at the Democrat. One thing
more: The Democrat does not bear
such deep-seated malice towards oppo-
sition as did the Citizen toward the
Renovdtor a few years ago. The pro.
prietOrs of this paper would hardly be
mean enough to attempt by law to
estOp the publication of the ENTERPRISE;
and they would promptly pay ajudg.
ment for damages assessed against
them for attempting such dirty trick

From Illinois.

Every season has its peculiarities and
this spring has some very marked ones
in this section. 1t is not only an unus-
ually early one, but was so open and
dry that farm work went along with
out any hinderance. Indeed, people be-
gan greatly to fear drouth in April; wells
were very low and stock water began
to get scarce. But May brought warm,
copious showers, and, just now, it is
too wet to pillow corn, while wheat is in
danger of rust; for the growth is rank
and atmosphere humid with heavy
dews. Never before was corn gotten
in so early, nor gave better stands from
the first planting. The foliage came
out all at once, and fruit bloom came
and went before one could realize it.
The set of fruit seems scant and insects
are eating the leaves on small fruit
badly.
We have had no dangerous storms.
either, until last Saturday, when q
storm began about where Morgan and
Scott corner, on the Greene county line,
and went due north on the line be-
tween the two first named counties. 1t
threw wheat and clover. washed roll
ing lands, cleared out water gaps, while
the hail perforated leaves and bent
down corn and young plants badly.
The lightning was terrific, and, though
trees were struck, 1 have so far heard
heard of no casualties to man or
beast.
Old corn is scarce here, and men
were holding for forty and fifty cents;
but the pastures came so early, and the
prospect for both oats and corn is so
good, that it is hard to get so cents.
No matter how good the crops may be,
prices will probably be so low that the
mortgage-wrecker- master in chan
cery-will have a good harvest; for the
propertied class have death-grips on
three-fourths of the farms, and very
few of those under mortgage can be
cleared.
That case of buck-ague that R. P. 7.
gives was an extreme one. When
fourteen years old had to face full
grown panther, and was armed with
nothing but an old sack with gallon
jug of whisky in each end of 1t. 1 had
heard and read so many bugaboo stor-
les about wild beasts, especially Wild
cats and panthers, that was too much
